Black Night Fall bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Semi-climbing plants giving small pods of 4 to 5 inches each containing 4 to 6 white beans speckled with black. Very prolific, these small beans are harvested dry after 100 days of cultivation and can be eaten as legumes. They can be grown without stakes, but still benefit from a support for easy picking. The origin is uncertain, but seeds were exchanged at the Common Ground Fair in Maine, USA in 2003, according to Fruitition Seeds. We got them from a seed exchange in Ontario.
